nse to this request for news.

In his address at the editorial con-
vention at Big Stone Lake, Col. Ev-
ans, of Miloank, said: Among mat
ters worthy of consideration is that of
obtaining cheap law. AS long ago as
the fourteenth century we are inform
by celebrated traveller and Judge
that suit at law could be commenced
before 4 Justice of the peace at Mar
seilles and carried to final adjudica-
ton for the munificent sum of 10
cents. We need to greatly reduce the
cost of obtaining justice. In too many
instances the office of Justice and
judge is given to persons for the pur-
pose of enabling to earn a livelihood.
There ought to be no money in these
offices for anyone. The cost of all
action should be reduced to the lowest
possible minimum. Criminal law
ought to have no terror to an innocent
person, but swift punishment of the
guilty. Now an innocent person may
be punished, imprisoned and be ruined
financially, and have no remedy. The
state should reimburse as far as pos
sible all losses sustained by the inno-
cent. Civil law should be something
more than procedure in verbal COM
bat. The glib tongue and the ready
tactician ought not to be able to warp
justice. 1t has been suggested that
lawyers might be excluded from our
courts with advantage. Allow no oral
pleas to court or jury. Let all wit
nesses be examined by the district at
torney or court officer, under direction
of the Judge, who would see substan-
tial justice done. This is rather hard
on the lawyers. The present genera
tion will scarcely be affected, but some
day there will be great deal more
heard upon just the plan Of reform
outlined by Col Evans.

surprises, regrets and boiling tur-
moil of trouble and dire disaster.

The new south, the land of soft
winds and magnolia palms, is steadily
creepingto the front as an attractive
point for boomers. The rapid build
ing of cities is similar to the way they
have of doing it in the great north
west, which spring up so suddenly
year after year. a Especial correspond
ent of the Chicago Times, who has
been travelling in the south, making a
study of the negro, writes to that
journal that he considers it certain
that all the central south will re-
main white mans country forever;
that the colored man will be of less
Importance there every year; that the
development of mines and diversified
industries will ere long create new
system of agriculture and make it the
richest portion of the south, and that
all the plateau region will in time be
inhabited by the finest product of the
Caucasian race, and become the seat
of the best civilization yet known on
earth. While it will not be purely
material civilization, it will have
enough of the practical elements Of
New England life and be without The
harsher features of New England char
acter; it will have more of the joyous
ana sentimental, developing new
school of literature and architecture.

Alexandria Herald: The firm of
IIinkley 4 Taylor was closed up Friday
evening on series of attachments, for
debts contracted before the present firm
took possession. Owing to the eXten-
sive line of credits carried by the for
mer firm and the partial failure of crops
last year the firm got behind and if glv=
en- time the new firm would have been
able to have made its collections and
settled in full. Owing to a misunder-
standing or a misconcrption of the
state of affairs proceedings were begun
which ended in Mr.. lIinkley's notifying
the creditors to hiring on their attach
ments. The result was a closing of the
doors An inventory was taken and
the stock found to have cost over
$1,000. The assets including the ac-
counts are largely in excess of the liza
bil!ties. Everything pertaining to the
firm of lIinkley Il Taylor has been
paid in full. Mr.. Hinkley will start
afresh as soon as matters can be az
ranged. Everyone is sorry that mat
ters are in such an unfortunate situ-
alton. sympathy j. expressed OH all
sides for both members of the old firm
and it is hoped they may get on their
feet sOlidly once more.

HO POurS His Woes Into the Ear Of
Bill Nye.
On board a day coach of the great trunk
line running from the Battery via Sixth ave-
nue. to Harlem fell in the other day with a
highly cultivated old gentleman who now re-
sides in Brooklyn. Together we enjoyed the
delightful stretch of dark red scenery and ad-
vertisements which greets the enraptured eye
along this great scenic route. Together we
inhaled the thousand odors of hot, sour
alleys and damp cellars, and together we
looked into second story rooms where pov-
erty lay painting in the awful heat that had
accumulated all day and now shut down with
the night like a sitting garment In our
conversation he said:
u generally aim to let the papers alone if
they'll let me alone, but when first came
here friend of mine brought me slip that
he had cut out of prominent morning pa
per in which my name was used in a way
that made me mad; and so l went right
down to the office of the paper. Before I

the birth and death editor, or the scrapping

the paper as spoke about, but would find out
about it and see what reporter handed it in.

there. He would investigate the matter
when tue reporters got in in the evening.

he Held At Canton. Commencing
Monday, September 5.
The fifth Normal Teachers Institute
for Lincoln county, Oak, will be held
in the Canton city school building, COM
mencing at 10 o'clock a. m., Monday,
September 5, and continuing in session
during the week. The session will be
short, but one Of great interest and
profit to all who attend.
Prof. John Ogden, normal school
teacher of many years experience, also
the author of several valuable works on
education, has been engaged as conduct
or. Supt. Perkins, of Lyon county, Ia,
principal-elect of the Canton city
schools; Prof. Miller, of the Augustana
college; Mrs. O. N. Russell, of the
Canton school, and the writer of this
notice, have been engaged to act as as
sistant instructors. No pains will be
spared, nothing left undone, that can
contribute to make this meeting pleas
ant and profitable, and no Lincoln
county teacher can afford to be absent.
We can all learn something, all enkin-
die little new enthusiasm; besides, the
law provides for these Institutes and
confidently expects the attendance Of
those who teach in the public schools.
The session has been put a little later
than usual to avoid the heat and hurry
of midsummer, and shorter, because wa
hope to hold another In April next.
Programs and all necessary notices
will be issued in due time.

II went to long table and wrote most all
the afternoon on a piece which was not so
scathing when I got through with it as I
thought 1t was going to be, so tore it up
Then wrote another one. It was quite bitter,
but not so bitter as I wished it had been. 1t

Gatten out and fail to get there. I never
suffered mentally so much in my life, and now
and then when l wiped my brow Oh the tail
of my linen coat 1 could see that the city
editor seemed to enjoy it. By dusk had
completed an article that was carefully writ
ten, and yet did not expect that it would be
copied very much. 1t was inclined to be
ornate in its style, and still there were words
il it like 'eggregious,' for instance, that
didn't feel sure had spelled right. 1t was
now night, and l went home, leaving my
article for the morning paper and feeling
proud that I was getting mixed up with
literature.
"My wife was anxious to find out if had

combines all the qualities of a first
class well. 1t is the only method OF
tubing by which drainage of surface
water, cess pools, privies, barn yards,

running into the well. Its cement
tubing is the neatest, cheapest and
most lasting ever invented, and gives
no bad taste to the water. Get one,

The railway catastrophe at Chats
worth, ILL.,, last Thursday night. is un-
equalled in the annals of awful hor-
rors. 1t brings yividly to light the un-
certainty of life, and, when least ex-
pected plunged into darkness of mer-
ciless gloom. Here was train of six
teen coaches filled to overflowing with
living souls, which started from Peoria
for Niagara Falls, carrying an excur-
sion party bent on two or three days
of pleasure. Young men and women,
parents and children, all dressed in
holiday attire, would laugh joyously
as the heavy train pulled by two en-
gines rushed through the darkness.
All was life and gaiety inside the
brilliantly-lighted flying palaces all
was gloom and murmuring of distant
thunder outside; for a storm was hoy
ering about not far off as if anxious
and greedy to mingle with the hor-
rible work of death and destruction
which was so near at hand. On, on
through patches of black night, made
light only by flashes of bright light
ming, the long train shot over bridges,
through shadowy recesses of woods,
bending around curves like huge
glittering serpent, and when near the
hour of midnight the unlucky cars,
with their precious burden, plunged
into the jaws of death-a death more
horrible in some instances than
thousand hells. The second engine
went through a small culvert, which
was partly burned, and after it came
twelve coaches, all telescoping and
piling about in mingled confusion. In
a shorter period than we can write it
nearly one hundred souls were dashed
into eternity and fully two score more
dangerously injured. The scene that
ensued was dreadful to behold. The
hiss of escaping steam, the screams
and groans of the mangled, the roar of
the approaching storm, and amid this,
seemingly as an undertone, reigned
the stiffness Of death-all going to
make up q disaster distressing in its
intensity. Whole families were
stricken from this earth like
bubbles ina wind, while many were
left to mourn the loss of dear friends
and relatives. All were served alike
the poor and lowly, people of rank,
fame and wealth-all were crushed
and mangled to death or MANNED for
life.
Accidents similar to this happen
frequently, but people continue to
come and go regardless of threatening
danger. 1t seems to be the nature of
things to buoyantly float along, indif-
ferent to coming eYents, and then sue
cumb to the inevitable. This globe
can be sized up as world of pleasure,
